It sounds like something Gwynyth would say.

I was staying in a hotel last year and was up working very late into the night. Finally, around 3 or 4am, I turned off the light and tried to get some sleep. The thing is, as soon as I did, I heard breathing. Rhythmic breathing, coming from the corner of the room. I tried to pretend it was the heater or a noise…

Mind if I share my "dreams from a dead person" story here with yours?

I'll join you in the Won't Be Sleeping All Week After Bingeing Scary Stories Posts Club!

Another one to add to the Halloween fun!

So this incident happened to me when I was an undergrad. Let me preface this by saying that I am adamantly a skeptic. I do not believe that there is an afterlife; I do not believe in ghosts; I do not believe in premonition. Period. I think simple brain chemistry explains 75% of hauntings.

It's coming from inside your butt!

I love past life stories. My college roommate's mom is convinced her son (my roommate's older brother) is a reincarnation of her grandfather. When the boy was around 3, she had taken him to the doctor for a checkup. He was running around the exam room (before the doc came in) climbing on things and whatnot. She told…

My family moved from LA to the Inland Empire in the summer of 1989, an incredibly hot summer. We went from a tiny 2-bedroom house where I shared a room with two brothers to a big two–story where I got my own room. We were so happy to move in. But we heard a lot of noises in our new, big house. I was told that big…

I have been re-reading all the old stories today in anticipation of this thread! This year I actually have one to contribute.

I come down to the kitchen for breakfast on a Saturday morning. My mom and my sister are already up, and they look exhausted. My mom asks, "Did you sleep alright?"

So I told what I thought was the one story I had that was spooky story worthy. But then this happened over Christmas:

This didn't happen to me, but to my cousin's ex-husband, and the aftermath was seen by quite a few people, including my mom/uncles. If you live somewhere rural, like me, you know there's a back road to almost everywhere. A house every few miles, no lights, etc. One night, my cousin's husband was driving down one of…

So it's the early 70s/mid 70s. My dad's driving around late at night in either Wisconsin or Michigan (don't recall which, he was traveling across the country). He's on the highway and he suddenly sees a light behind him, like one of those undercover cop cars. He pulls over, and so does the cop car. He waits for the…

This isn't that scary, it's a bit sad even. But it is my story, for real!

I truly don't know why I subject myself to this thread every year.

Not scary per se but we have a ghost in our house named Seymour. He was the original owner of our house some 60 years ago and he died in his bed. Our realtor never said a word about it though, so it was a bit of a surprise when things started happening. The first was about 6 weeks after we moved in and my husband and…

My mom let the guy who kidnapped Elizabeth Smart sleep on her front lawn a couple times. (Pre-Elizabeth Smart kidnapping he was a local character nicknamed Homeless Moses.) I wasn't there at the time but my two little sisters were living with her.

Okay, so here is mine.

I have a story!

I live in a very old area of town. Almost every other house on my street is a "century home" with a little plaque saying it was built in 1905 or sometime thereabouts. Mine doesn't just because it costs money to get that title.
